i know geuss-inspo isn't as amenable to analytic academic engagement, but i really wish williams wasn't relied on so much by radical realists. fleshing out the CTP is just not that enlightening as a basic approach.

it’s always pleasant when i post something with intentionally obscured significance and others interpret it in unexpected and generative ways

in other words, my post wasn’t about you, but it can be if you’d like, and i enjoy the recontextualization it’s extra funny because i was just about to make an unrelated post about epistemic normativity not being able to pull the weight it wants to, which really would have made things fun

give it a year or so /s

The phrase, "who one actually is" does not mean "who one actually was all the time" but "whom one turned oneself into in the course of creating the taste by which one ended up judging oneself."

this is still too metaphysical for my taste, but it's not a bad start for those still tangled in authenticity

also citation is obvi rorty, contingency irony solidarity 99. felt apt to post given recent threads on the self. better expressions exist, but like i said the self-creative moment is a good latch for the uninitiated

kasey won 😔

what did she mean by this

hehehe i love that all of our old interactions are still around, we’re really cute

a certain puppy was quite worried!

hey doip, glad to see you didn’t freeze to death

this is all it takes to capture my heart btw

in case you were wondering chat, both of these scenes just happened for real irl

get help honey

"The Sea Always Seems To Put Me At Ease" You are the topic of every epic we have ever been told And as I stand on this cliff, the wind whips through me and I am made bold Once again, Your presence creeps into my consciousness Grace made tangible in this newly anointed place

And I am brought to my clear senses That none of my perceived failings or disgrace Has ever touched my being or inheritance I am whole, I am clean, I am free And I am brought to my knees Sink in; permeate this weary flesh Breathe; life as clean and fresh As the salt-seasoned breeze

Please Father, pull me to my feet ‘Why are you kneeling, my son? I put strength in that back-bone Knowing that you would fall But I promise, you will never taste defeat You are whole, you are clean, you are free Get up, rise from your knees!’

We can no longer linger in the shadows of our shame and brokenness For as sure as the wind blows He has already redeemed all of this Live as whole, live as clean, live as free Everything you were made to be Standing at the edge of self-discovery

Tired and weary Our body trembles, buckles We are afraid of being hurt again Been stabbed in the back by our own friends We don’t know if we can mend Minds riddled with unsuccessful recoveries We’re scared Lord, we’re terrified

But dive in we must Cause there has to be something better than this For we see testimony of You in the sea Your creation, all of nature So with a sudden rush We abandon our solitary perching place And as we wash away the mourning dust Immersed; we see Your face

that's why i'm always saying geuss if the mf goat 🔥🗣️🔥

Anything from the sound of a word through the color of a leaf to the feel of a piece of skin can serve to dramatize and crystallize a life. For any such thing can play the role in an individual which philosophers have thought could, or at least should, be played only by things which were universal.

Any seemingly random con­stellation of such things can set the tone of a life. Any such constellation can set up an unconditional commandment to whose service a life may be devoted - a commandment no less unconditional because it may be intelligible to, at most, only one person.

@merkletr.ee 💕
